Speaking of cipher writing" said de
tective, rummaging among the papers in
his desk, there is one of the simplest have
ever seen, and yet, unless you understand
the method on which it is constructed, nc
doubt it will be puzzler for you"
He pointed out an advertisement in the
Wants, Miscellaneous" column of New
York paper. The advertisement was mere,
" the collection Of figures given below,
without address or signature:
"1334453l1433344432l125152444OO1ll3

The reporter had given some attention to
the solving Of cryptographs, but after puz'
cling over the foregoing for half an hour
he had to acknowledge that it was notch
above him.
II don't believe that it has any meaning.
In my opinion it is merely an arbitrary col
lection of figures"
IF the thing is meaningless, why should
any man pay good money TO have it pub
lished as an advertisement? 1t is as simple
as A B c. Doyou give it up?"
well, it reads:
Could not make it. Jack has gone to
Hoboken. Will follow by first train.
Sharp"
81 will take your word for it, of course,
but l can't see how those figures mean
anything Of the kind"
''Sit down. Have a cigar and make
yourself comfortable. l want to give you
few wrinkles. The lite of successful
detective is not what the general public
imagines it to be. Circumstances do not
play into his hands in real life like they do
in the detective stories published in popu-
lar story papers. Not bit Of it. Every
great hit is the result of careful study and
painstaking such as would surprise you if
you could be brought to an adequate I'M
der standing of them"
"Allvery good. But what has this to do
with making English out of this published
bunch Of tigures?"
It has this much to do with it. The
better educated class of criminals system
atically correspond with each other by
means of secret writing, and one OF the
first things that good detective must
learn is the art Of crypotography, or steg-
typography, as some call it. lust wanted
to give you to understand that every slug
ger with a sledgehammer fist cannot be
made into detective. There are some
nice points in the business that can be
mastered by brain work, and this is one OF
them.
1.-The minute l put my eyes on that adj

on an old Greek method with which am
thoroughly familiar, and which requires
that every letter be represented by two

in the form of square, thus:

81 will not ask you to trouble youI brains
in endeavoriDg to read that, but will show
you the solution at once"
Taking the paper by its lower end, the
detective wrapped it spirally around thf
lead pencil which he had borrowed Wber
this was done the disjointed words and
fragments of words came together rs II Dy
magic, forming the easily read sentence:
"Where the letter is to be read in manu-
script, this method Of secret writing Is ont

wound about the pencil, and the sentences
written upon the adjacent turns OF the
spiral, making tumble when unwound

found to be IL; q is AZ, w is SO, and So
on.
''0f course this square can he modified
in hundred different ways, perhaps, by
reading the figures backward aud placing

over "
There is another system of secret writ
ing upon which we have not touched at
all. 1t consists of the hiding of insignif-
cant words in 4 sentence Of good English,
and know Of one case in this city where
this style Of writing was used between a
young lady and gentleman who had been
| forbidden by the lady's father to see her,
and used to such purpose that the pair
was married a short time ago. Here Is
one of the young lady's notes. What do
YOU think of it?"
The note was written in lady's delicate
hand, on very small sheet of gilt-edged
paper. The sheet was embellished at the
| top with an embossed initial w, and the
writing was:
"George-I wish you would forget Inc.
cannot and will not see you tonight or
again in the park or at home, without
papa's permission, which he tells me will
never be given"
The reporter could not see much hope Tor
the lover in the foregoing document until
his attention was drawn to some irtinitesi-
NAL figures in the lower left-hand corner OF
the paper, so small as to be almost invisi-
BILE, but when pointed out were plainly seen
to be |, ., IL, IA, Is, IL, 10, 20, 81.
Now read that note again, Omiting
every word but the first, second, twelfth,
fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth,
twentieth and the twenty-frst, and you
will find that it reads:
George will see you tonight in the
park
"But that sort of thing is all cbild's
plav. Lend me your lead pencil and &c
and look out of the window for about five
minutes. When you come back ! will
show you cryptogram written on a sys'
TEN that is absolutely indecipherable by
those not in the secret"
The reporter did as he was hidden, and
when the five minutes were elapsed the
detective handed him long strip Of paper,
ON which were written the charactererS
following. In the manuscript the charac
tiers were written in one long column, but
for the sake of economizing space the lower
half of the column is printed here to th,
right of the upper half:

THE Third PRIZE.
THIS prize, consisting Of a life member
ship IN the Sons of Malta, was won by
Thomas Jefferson Shackleford, of New Or
leans, in the following ode:

FIRE EXTINGUIsHERs.
As announced at the last meeting, the
club had agreed to receive three or foul
c0lOred inventors of fire extinguisher'
whose wits had been set to work by the eff
forts of the Lime Kiln Club to present thi!
country with something cheap, durable anC
to depend Oh in case of railroad wreck OF
steamboat collision.
'THE TORNADO"
This was the name of an invention by
Hon. Brigantine Caruthers of Terre Haute
Ind. 1t appeared TO be squirtgun on
large scale. The appearance was shortly
confirmed when the fire bell sounded ant
the inventor made rush into the north
west corner to fight the red-tongued flames
He fit and fit. He not only put out the
red-tongued demon, but he wet down q
members and two-thirds of the sacred relic
in the museum. When it was found thai
pail of waite must be CARED along witt
the gun, and that it was not provided with
either fore or hind sights, the club decided
to hold off. Pickles Smith laid for the In
ventor in the anteroom to lick him for wet
ting down his new Lord Byron paper collar
but the Hon. Rrigantine escaped by tho
alley stairs.
1.-THE soUELCHER."
This was the name of an invention by
Judge January Bostwick, Of Augusta, Ga
When he emptied it out Of bag nothing
but piece of garden hose about six feet
long was visible. Ten minutes later the
Judge himself was not visible. He ex
planned that the piece of hose was to be al
tached to another piece, and both pieces Il
a water plug, and az soon as the water va!
turned on the extinguisher would proceed
to extinguish A sound came up from TIL
alley as if he had struck on the broad o
his back, but he was probably more scarce
than hurt.
There were two other inventors waiting
to exhibit, but it was decided not to ad
nit them, and Brother Gardner called thu
meeting to order to say:
''De offer made by dis club fur hand
fab extinguisher worthy Of de nineteenth
century ar withdrawn, an we'll depend
ON Providence fur a while. We will nov
break up de- meetin' an percolate home
